Selecting the right tool for grooming your dog is very important. Dog's skin is more delicate then humans and having the wrong tool could injure your dog's skin.
For short, smooth coats you should use a tool called "hound glove". Just put the glove on your hand and rub your dog's coat. Canines with short, dense hair or ones with slightly longer and rough coats need both brushing and combing. Dogs with long, matting hair should also be brushed and combed.
When selecting a comb, look for one with rounded teeth so you don't puncture your dog's skin. The teeth should be wide enough to go through your dog's coat easily. Tools called a "dematting comb" will help with removing mats but carefully follow directions. If you feel you can't groom your dog properly, have a professional do it for you.
